Privately sponsored travel to Israel on the rise again

Caught Our Eye Posted by Heavyn Lester on Monday, April 29, 2024

After coming to a practical standstill following the start of the Israel-Hamas war, privately funded congressional travel to Israel has seen a significant upturn in 2024.

Members of Congress and their staff have taken 34 trips to Israel in the past four months, approved by 18 Republican offices and 16 Democratic offices. While not yet reaching the 159 trips taken between January and September 2023, with only one trip taken in 2023 after the start of the war, this marks a notable rise in recent travel to Israel. 

Rep. Suozzi leads the pack as most educated

Caught Our Eye Posted by Heavyn Lester on Thursday, April 25, 2024

Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) has three legislative assistants in his office, all of whom have advanced degrees. Two of them have two law degrees each.

Suozzi's office stands out as unusually educated. The congressman's office ranks first among all offices in the House and Senate as the most educated, based on a metric that LegiStorm has devised.

I have found LegiStorm essential for my job and quite surprising in its capabilities. For an arts presentation I needed to give on Capitol Hill, I was able to automatically download key arts staffers associated with all members of the Congressional Arts Caucus. I also able to find staff with "art" in their education backgrounds, so they got invited too. Definitely fun, and useful.

We have found LegiStorm to be the ultimate tool in communicating with congressional offices, either individually or with a group. We have been able to reach out with messages to all chiefs of staff and legislative directors, or staff dedicated to specific areas. We believe that this ability was instrumental in passing two key pieces of legislation which were imperative to our members.

The data provided by LegiStorm stands out as the best Congressional data available. The accuracy and organization of LegiStorm's data has meant that I've been able to greatly speed up progress on my research. I have no hesitation in recommending LegiStorm to all types of researchers, journalists, lobbyists and other political professionals.
